During these past 12 months of being home A LOT, I had huge plans of meticulously organizing and decluttering every inch of my house. Have I done this? Nope. Not even close. I did declutter two kitchen cabinets (yep…only two), half of one kid’s closet (let’s see….I only have four and a half more closets to go), and two nightstand...
We're plugging away at organizing an out-of-control power cord situation in our home. We've now powered-through reviews and testing of cord storage boxes, cute outlet boxes, power stations for our phones/watches/etc.,, and power control central stations. And we're doing this from our kitchen, which for the better part of a year, has functioned as a home office, virtual classroom...
A few things are getting me through this month: Our Style Challenge (if you haven't checked it out yet, it's a GOOD one with lots of Shop Your Closet Inspiration) AND all of these new-to-me Black-owned food and drink finds!

If you (and/or your kids) are looking for something fun to do that doesn't involve screens or playing outside in the freezing temps, I've got a really good excuse to make some delicious comfort treats: Valentine's Day.

Truth be told, NYE has never been a favorite of mine. It just doesn't coordinate well with my 9pm bedtime. New Year's Day Brunch and a Big Parade...now that is my idea of fun! Oh how I do love a good mimosa, a big brunch,...

About those good intentions... It's easy to hope that your gift recipient will use that gift you thought so much about, but you can't always be too sure (especially when it comes to sustainable alternatives; people are sometimes...leery).

A huge thank you to Our Place for sponsoring this post.
We decided to host both our parents for Thanksgiving this year. It wasn't a decision we made lightly. In any other year, we'd ping pong from my mom's house for lunch to my grandparents' house for dinner to Chris' family's house for second dinner -- maybe even to my...
I'm working on the assumption that we've all seen the amazing (hold the click***warning, adult language) There's Some Chores In This House video. Yes? So worth it if you can just put your comfy earbuds on and listen without the kids knowing why you are laughing hard enough to pee your cute mom pants (did we all see...
